ActionScript 3.0 :: Timer Lagging When Browser Window Loses Focus?
Sep 12, 2009
I have this SWF that is pulling videos from YouTube through their API. Everything is working nicely until I go to another browser tab or cause the window the SWF is in to lose focus otherwise (largely by using any program aside from the browser). When I return to the tab/window that the browser is playing in, if I have been away for anything over like 20 seconds, the time text that indicates where the play head is plays catchup jumping over 3-5 seconds at a time. While the video is not making these jumps, what is happening is that any buttons for controlling the video become unresponsive until the time text actually has caught up with the current position in the video play head. Thereafter all functioning for my other buttons (play/pause, full screen toggle, and sharing) returns to normal. I am using a Timer that calls every millisecond.

Creating a flash project where I need to hit TAB in order for the playhead to go forward a frame. Then I need the user to hit a letter (for example hit 'a') to move forward again. Hitting the above keys is working,
As soon as the user hits TAB, flash seems to lose focus to the browser, and the user has to click on the swf on the screen before they can proceed.

I am unable to replicate this issue in Flash - only in a browser window. It appears that if I lose focus of that window for a period of time or scroll down the page where the embedded flash isn't visible, when I scroll back up or return to the window, the event timers appear to play catch-up.The timed "removeChild" commands do not run and leave remnants on the stage. I do not get any errors however, and everything else seems to continue running as normal.

Is there any reliable way to give the stage focus when you first open it in a browser window WITHOUT first clicking on the stage? By reliable, I mean something that works across different browsers and on both PCs and Macs.I've seen numerous threads on this subject, and I've read the Adobe tech note, and it seems there is no reliable way.How in the world can Adobe ask people to use Flash and not provide a reliable way to give the stage focus on startup.

I have a web page that uses javascript counters to count user "active" time, meaning the time a user spends viewing this page (and not some other page). I do this by starting/stopping them using the [URL].. However, when the user clicks on a plugin inside the same page (flash, java, etc), the window loses focus and window.onblur is fired. Is there a way to tell that the user is still on my page?

My Sprite class keeps losing focus when I click with the mouse - specifically after the MOUSE_DOWN event (before the click is complete).
I have set mouseEnabled to false on the children, no change. I added a listener for FOCUS_OUT and noticed that the FocusEvent.relatedObject property is NULL, which is confusing me - doesn't that mean there is no new focus target, the focus is just getting lost?
The exact sequence of events I get, by tracing them, as I click:
[FocusEvent type="focusOut" bubbles=true cancelable=false eventPhase=2 relatedObject=null shiftKey=false keyCode=0]
[MouseEvent type="mouseDown" bubbles=true cancelable=false eventPhase=2 localX=355

I have a custom TextInput that listens for the FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN and FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT events:
textDisplay.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onFocusInHandler);
textDisplay.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, onFocusOutHandler);
My onFocusInHandler function basically removes a "promptview" that tells the user to type in a value, with the onFocusOutHandler doing the opposite.
For example, if the TextInput text was backspaced to a blank value and the user clicks out of the TextInput box, it would show a "Please enter a value" light-gray prompt in the TextInput.
This works fine until the user clicks our custom "Clear" button. The clear button sets the text to "", and I can tell the FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT is received because the prompt text is set to visible (its not being set anywhere else). The problem is, the cursor remains in the box as if it still has focus, so if the user immediately starts typing, both the prompt text "Please enter a value" and the user-entered text appears over the gray text, which looks pretty ugly and unreadable.
Why does the TextInput receive the FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT event if it's not actually losing focus?

I'm using Flash MX, but these movies might have been saved for Flash 4 (what I used to use). I'm using IE and I have tested on other browsers and it seams to have the same problem. I have two small flash movies playing as part of my site design but when I scroll, this clearly lag creating a 'white box' where the movies should be until they move. I'm pretty sure the lag is with them two movie clips. My site is at [URL] (it's on the main site that I have the lag). They are Flash 4 Swfs.

I have a game where you can move a character around on a screen, very simple. My problem is, I have to click on the swf object in my browser before it starts to recognize my input keys. If there a way to set set to my swf object either in html or the swf itself /w as3?
This is the browser code I keep finding on googing:
Actionscript Code:
<body onLoad="window.document.mymovie.focus();"> <object width="760" height="820"> <param name="mymovie" value="test.swf"> <embed src="test.swf" width="760" height="820"> </embed> </object> </body>

I have looked around for this and haven't found a way that clearly explains how to do this. More often than not the button will close the browser window in one but not another browser.
Is the a simple way of closing a browser window in all types of browser ( Or mainly Firefox, IE and safari on both Mac and PC ) with actionscript?

I'm struggling to get around an error that is constantly thrown in my application when I press the tab key.
I have a modal dialog box that contains a form with 3 form items. Whenever I press the tab button flex throws an error saying
"ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller."
I've tried setting up a focus manager in the initilize handler of my title window to no avail
private function init(e:FlexEvent):void
{
focus=new FocusManager(myform);
focus.setFocus(firsttextfield);

I have made a javascript/flash system to play sound effects on an AJAX-based game I have made. For some reason, on some systems (it appears to be just Firefox 3 on Windows XP), users can only hear the sound effects play while the window is in focus. If they minimize the window or are looking at a different window the sound effects don't play.

I have a flash panorama that has hotspot links to pop-up windows that contain more information about the object. Right now if you are in fullscreen mode and click a hotspot you are automatically kicked out of fullscreen mode and the pop-up then opens. Is it possible to have the pop-up open and have focus while in the background the panorama is still in fullscreen mode?

I have created a container in Flash Professional CS5 for my projects CBT. I have been able to script many of the features we require using AS3, but there are a couple of things I am still trying to work out.I would like the swf presently playing in one tab to pause and go silent when another swf is opened in a new tab (the sound is inside this externally loaded swf which is loaded inside a movie clip from buttons nested a movie clip down). I have tried :
var originalFrameRate:uint = stage.frameRate;
var standbyFrameRate:uint = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate)[code]....
This function is present when I publish the CBT with Captivate, so obviously there must be code available. You can set the Captivate button to open url in new window and pause movie.Is there something I can add to the html file that is similar to the �has Priority� for mobile devices or is there javascript that can be added to the flash itself?

Has anyone noticed the following behavior building Flex programs using the mxmlc ANT task (running in the background): as the MXMLC task starts, it steals the window focus from whatever application is currently running, and then gives it back again! This is extremely disruptive.Is there a way to run the MXMLC task "headless" so it doesn't interact at all with the window system?I'm running on Mac OS X (10.5.8, if that matters), and Flash 4.0.1 (although the behavior existed on 3.x as well).
